Default Removing Orange Parking Light markers?

Anyone know of or has removed their orange side markers in the headlights? I hate the pumpkin orange in them. I'd like to replace them with a amber LED

Im interested in this as well. I know that some in the 3rd gen have done this to theirs, I just dont know if it is a difference to do it to the 4th gen trucks...

Damnit. I know thats what they do in the 3rd gen, I was hoping that it would be easier for us, specifically the baking part. I cant justify putting brand new headlights in the oven... But let us know how it goes for ya.

It's not enough to ruin or disform the plastic. 220 at 15 minutes will work great (just work fast when spliting or you'll have to reheat again), so have a game plan when removing from the oven. I've done this many times on a variety of vehicles, and for some reason Ram headlight (3rd Gen.) and Corvettes are the biggest PITA to split apart.

I have been seeing a few people simply take that reflector out, but it's illegal in some states...
